Not bad, it took me awhile because I got too busy with work and then hit a reading slump. It wasn't keeping my attention heavily that I felt compelled to finish reading it despite that. I like the concept and the interesting plot that was taking place with the intrigue and mystery behind things. It'll be interesting to see where the sister's story goes too.

Minor: Death of parent

Familial Abuse:

There are a lot of cases of Familial Abuse, which, both times it's shown, can be pretty graphic. One character forces another to harm themselves through magic control.

This was just okay - fairly surface level and predictable.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this and would recommend to anyone that likes a closed door (or at least closed door adjacent) fantasy romance with a fun cast of characters, no miscommunication tropes, and a unique world. I especially liked the combination of dark (in theme/content, not romance) and light-heartedness. Looking forward to the sequels!
